What Is Green Bean Almondine Green bean almondine, also known as “amandine” in French cuisine, transforms humble green beans into a show-stopping side! The secret lies in blanching the beans to retain their emerald hue and crispness, then sautéing them in a fragrant blend of garlic-infused lemon butter. And the fancy name? Courtesy of toasted almonds, lending an irresistible crunch! Green Beans: Fresh green beans are the cornerstone of this dish....
In an effort to get through all the greens before they go bad, I sautéed a bunch of kale and collard greens and threw in a few eggs. It was delicious. I added a lot of diced onions for a subtle sweetness, a handful of parsley and two seeded jalapeños for a bit of heat. This dish cooks in just 30 minutes, which is perfect for me on weeknights....

How to Prepare Them The air fryer cooks food quickly, so the Brussels sprouts will crisp up fast. I prefer to cook Brussels sprouts whole, as the leaves will get nice and crispy on the outside, with a soft and tender inside.
